| | 3H-cGAMP Filtration Binding Assay (HAQ STING) |
| Description: | The compounds were serially titrated by the Hamilton STARPlus CORE in a 96-well plate (Greiner, #651201) using a 1:3 ten-point dose response format. After compound preparation, a 2.2 ug/ml working concentration of STING membrane (SEQ. ID. No. 2) was prepared by diluting concentrated membrane into assay buffer (1×PBS; Invitrogen #SH30028.02) and douncing 7× using a manual tissue homogenizer (Wheaton, #357546). 148 uL of prepared membrane was then manually added to each well of a 96-well deep-well polypropylene plate (Fisher Scientific, #12-566-121). Following membrane addition, 2 uL of either titrated test compound, DMSO control (Sigma #276855), or cold cGAMP control (prepared in-house) was added to the appropriate wells using a Biomek FX. Compound and membrane then preincubated for 60 min at RT to allow compound binding to equilibrate. Following equilibration, 8 nM of [3H] c-GAMP ligand was prepared by diluting into assay buffer, and 50 uL of this working stock was then manually added to each well of the assay plate. Plates were then incubated at RT for 60 min, and the contents of each assay plate were then filtered through a 96-well GF/B filter plate (PerkinElmer, #6005250) using a TomTec MachIII Cell Harvester equipped with 20 mM HEPES buffer (Fisher Scientific, #BP299500). The filter plates were then dried at 55° C. for 30 min using a pressurized VWR oven before 30 uL of Ultima GoldF scintillate was added to each well. Tritium levels for each reaction well were then measured using a PerkinElmer TopCount plate reader. |
